Abstract: Congenital high scapula, also referred to as Sprengel deformity, is a rare malformation that results in a superiorly positioned scapula. The corrective surgery involves extensive soft tissue manipulation and is a successful technique for correcting this deformity. The Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block is a novel, recently described technique for providing analgesia in the thoracic region. In this report, we describe the successful use of the ESP block for a patient with Sprengel deformity undergoing the Modified Green procedure.
